My fly fishing mentor, Jim Garrett, had his preferred pink fly, the Orange Trinity. Three orange balls of floss over gold tinsel the a white hair wing. He used Polar Bear, as I recall. Used them intitally on the Dungeness in '79 on the Summer Pinks.

His set up was about 10' of lead core between the line and leader. Got the fly down quickly. C&R'd a nice bunch of fish. The most interesting aspect of that fishery was the Summer Steelhead that hit the fly about once an hour. That really changed the fight. Never happened to me but I saw it a couple times.

When I was up in Nome I ran into some pinks in a pool on one river. About 50 pinks, a couple nice Dollies and some nice grayling. The pinks were occasionally taking something off the surface but I concentrated on the grayling as there a 19" toad who took my dry and got me an ADF&G certificate for releasing a big one. Want to go back there and try to induce all three species come out and play.
